- - The study examines patient refusals of hospital-at-home (H@H) care, identifying key reasons why individuals might prefer traditional hospital care despite H@H being a safer and cost-effective option.
- - After reviewing 1,067 articles, only seven provided relevant insights, highlighting factors such as safety concerns, physician advice, and family burdens as common reasons for declining H@H services among 418 patients across various countries.
- - The authors stress the importance of understanding these refusal reasons to enhance patient acceptance of H@H models, suggesting that better communication and collaboration among healthcare providers can help address these concerns.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic introduced unique challenges to healthcare systems, particularly in relation to patient safety and adverse events during hospitalization. There is limited understanding of COVID-19's association with some patient safety indicators (PSIs).
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the impact of COVID-19 infection on the rate of PSI-3 events and its implications on quality metrics.
Reproductive hormones are essential to mating systems, behavior, fertility, gestation, parturition, and lactation in mammals and understanding the role of hormones in these processes is essential for species conservation. Sirenia is a unique order of marine mammals that include manatees, dugongs, and the extinct Steller's sea cow. Extant Sirenian species are all listed as vulnerable due to habitat loss, cold stress, boat strike trauma, harmful algal bloom toxicity, entanglements, and illegal hunting.
